Saturday was fun and busy for our crew (like most of the Oct weekends we have planned out for the month). Ashlyn and I woke up a bit early and went to a neighborhood garage sale we love - a very weathly community that practically gives their gorgeous things away at this annual event! We came home into time for John to go help a friend work on his NE house (wallpaper work I think). Then the kids and I went to the Holt parade for our first adventure together being in a parade! We walked with State Representative Doug Ervin (pictured above) with Joshua's school, Northern Hills Christian Academy. The Ervin family attend the school and we were all invited to support him in the parade. Joshua loved throwing candy to the people and was so excited to see some fellow classmates in the audience waving to him. Ashlyn handed out flyers to people while I manned the two little boys in the stroller. It was a short parade and a lot of fun. After it was done, we hung out in Holt and had lunch at the festival. Then we came home and picked up before John got home. We later cooked and watched a little 24 (we are going through Season 3 again since we bought it a while back) and I worked a little on a web project I have been working on. We also put away some of our "new" purchases we got at the Riss Lake garage sales, including a neat new light fixture in Jonathan's nursery that allows you to point 3 lights at different walls - it make it look like an art studio a little which is cool. We have them pointing at his monogram, verse and crib right now. I am going to paint the garage doors today while everyone takes their Sunday nap...pics to come soon!
